I feel like we're disagreeing, but we're not. I'm saying no more range nerf, so are you. As for damage decrease, no, the whole point for shotguns are to tear apart anything that gets that close. What Bungie needs, in my opinion, is some damn symmetrical maps. It would solve a lot of problems. Paths that have weird turns or openings encourage shotgun use that a lot of people seem to hate. Weapons are situational. The original concepts for specials made sense. Shotgun for people who push close encounters, snipers for laneways, and fusions were that middeground antipersonnel (a one handed Spartan laser).
